馬可福音 2
治好癱子
（太9．1－8；路5．17－26）
1 過了些日子，耶穌又進了迦百農。人聽說他在屋裏， 2 於是許多人聚集，甚至連門前都沒有空地；耶穌就對他們講道。 3 有人帶著一個癱子來見耶穌，是由四個人抬來的； 4 因為人多，無法抬到耶穌跟前，就把他所在那房子的屋頂拆了，既拆通了，就把癱子連所躺臥的褥子都縋下去。 5 耶穌見他們的信心，就對癱子說：「孩子，你的罪赦了。」 6 有幾個文士坐在那裏，心裏議論，說： 7 「這個人為甚麼這樣說呢？他說褻瀆的話了。除了上帝一位之外，誰能赦罪呢？」 8 耶穌心中立刻知道他們心裏這樣議論，就說：「你們心裏為甚麼這樣議論呢？ 9 對癱子說『你的罪赦了』，或說『起來！拿你的褥子行走』，哪一樣容易呢？ 10 但要讓你們知道，人子在地上有赦罪的權柄。」就對癱子說： 11 「我吩咐你，起來！拿你的褥子回家去吧。」 12 那人就起來，立刻拿著褥子，當著眾人面前出去了，以致眾人都驚奇，歸榮耀給上帝，說：「我們從來沒有見過這樣的事！」
呼召利未
（太9．9－13；路5．27－32）
13 耶穌又到海邊去，眾人都到他跟前來，他就教導他們。 14 耶穌往前走，看見亞勒腓的兒子利未在稅關坐著，就對他說：「來跟從我！」他就起來跟從耶穌。 15 耶穌在利未家裏坐席的時候，有好些稅吏和罪人與耶穌和他的門徒一同坐席，因為有很多人也跟隨耶穌。 16 法利賽人中的文士t看見耶穌與罪人和稅吏一同吃飯，就對他的門徒說：「他與稅吏和罪人一同吃飯嗎？」 17 耶穌聽見，就對他們說：「健康的人用不著醫生，有病的人才用得著。我不是來召義人，而是召罪人。」
禁食的問題
（太9．14－17；路5．33－39）
18 那時，約翰的門徒和法利賽人都禁食。他們來問耶穌說：「約翰的門徒和法利賽人的門徒禁食，你的門徒卻不禁食，這是為甚麼呢？」 19 耶穌對他們說：「新郎和賓客在一起的時候，賓客怎麼能禁食呢？只要新郎和他們在一起，他們不能禁食。 20 但日子將到，新郎要被帶走，那日他們就要禁食了。
21 「沒有人把新布縫在舊衣服上，若是這樣，所補上的新布會撕破舊衣服，裂口就更大了。 22 也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裏，若是這樣，酒會脹破皮袋，酒和皮袋都糟蹋了t。相反地，新酒要裝在新皮袋裏t。」
在安息日摘麥穗
（太12．1－8；路6．1－5）
23 有一個安息日，耶穌從麥田經過。他的門徒走路的時候，摘起麥穗來。 24 法利賽人對耶穌說：「看哪！他們為甚麼做安息日不合法的事呢？」 25 耶穌對他們說：「大衛和跟從他的人飢餓需要食物時所做的事，你們沒有念過嗎？ 26 他在亞比亞他作大祭司的時候，怎麼進了上帝的居所，吃了供餅，又給跟從他的人吃呢？這餅除了祭司以外，人都不可以吃。」 27 他又對他們說：「安息日是為人設立的，人不是為安息日設立的。 28 所以，人子也是安息日的主。」
MARK 2
Jesus Heals a Man //Who Could Not Walk
(Matthew 9.1-8; Luke 5.17-26)
1 Jesus went back to Capernaum, and a few days later people heard that he was at home.t
2 Then so many of them came to the house that there wasn't even standing room left in front of the door.
Jesus was still teaching 3 when four people came up, carrying a man on a mat because he could not walk.
4 But because of the crowd, they could not get him to Jesus. So they made a hole in the rooft above him and let the man down in front of everyone.
5 When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the man, “My friend, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Some of the teachers of the Law of Moses were sitting there. They started wondering,
7 “Why would he say such a thing? He must think he is God! Only God can forgive sins.”
8 At once, Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said, “Why are you thinking such things? 9 Is it easier for me to tell this man his sins are forgiven or to tell him to get up and pick up his mat and go on home? 10 I will show you that the Son of Man has the right to forgive sins here on earth.” So Jesus said to the man,
11 “Get up! Pick up your mat and go on home.”
12 The man got right up. He picked up his mat and went out while everyone watched in amazement. They praised God and said, “We have never seen anything like this!”Jesus Chooses Levi
(Matthew 9.9-13; Luke 5.27-32)
13 Once again, Jesus went to the shore of Lake Galilee. A large crowd gathered around him, and he taught them.
14 As he walked along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus. Levi was sitting at the place for paying taxes, and Jesus said to him, “Follow me!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
15 Later, Jesus and his disciples were having dinner at Levi's house.t Many tax collectorst and other sinners had become followers of Jesus, and they were also guests at the dinner.
16 Some of the teachers of the Law of Moses were Pharisees, and they saw Jesus eating with sinners and tax collectors. So they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Jesus heard them and answered, “Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do. I didn't come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to invite sinners.”People Ask about Going //without Eating
(Matthew 9.14-17; Luke 5.33-39)
18 The followers of John the Baptist and the Pharisees often went without eating.t Some people came and asked Jesus, “Why do the followers of John and those of the Pharisees often go without eating, while your disciples never do?”
19 Jesus answered:
The friends of a bridegroom don't go without eating while he is still with them.
20 But the time will come when he will be taken from them. Then they will go without eating.
21 No one patches old clothes by sewing on a piece of new cloth. The new piece would shrink and tear a bigger hole.
22 No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The wine would swell and burst the old skins.t Then the wine would be lost, and the skins would be ruined. New wine must be put into new wineskins.A Question about //the Sabbath
(Matthew 12.1-8; Luke 6.1-5)
23 t One Sabbath Jesus and his disciples were walking through some wheat fields. His disciples were picking grains of wheat as they went along.t
24 Some Pharisees asked Jesus, “Why are your disciples picking grain on the Sabbath? They are not supposed to do that!”
25 t Jesus answered, “Haven't you read what David did when he and his followers were hungry and in need?
26 t It was during the time of Abiathar the high priest. David went into the house of God and ate the sacred loaves of bread that only priests are allowed to eat. He also gave some to his followers.”
27 Jesus finished by saying, “People were not made for the good of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for the good of people. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath.”
